Sounds like shit, but it is also hard to sympathize with kotaku and IGN journalists.

The reason MSN stopped being used was because Microsoft started requiring Microsoft accounts for it to work, and started pushing people towards Skype. Which is why "Microsoft happened". I never really meant to imply that Microsoft bought it or anything, just that they are the reason it eventually died.

Microsoft happened.

Game developers making remakes for the "modern audience"

Never forget what they did to Bullfrog

Well, it is the second best option after burning google to the ground.

I use LMMS with simple soundfonts instead of VSTis, and it sounds just as good as the garbage I made with FL Studio back when I pirated it and didn't have to care about publishing.

If you don't want to pay, LMMS is the best option in my opinion.

A raspberry pi.

Installed Pihole on it and now get almost no ads on all devices at home.

It was true in the 90s too.

You can patent the features that the code makes up.

Also, Nintendo has patented features existing in other games long before, and it hasn't stopped them. The current lawsuit against palworld contains patent claims for features they do not actually own, which is why they need 100 different lawsuits coming their way so they get a taste of their own medicine.

They have an easy time suing one or two entities, but 100 different ones will have a significant economic impact.

Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.

Can't grow old if you die young.

This is the result of them blocking invidious. They targeted large Datacenter nodes and check for the number of requests from those datacenters that aren't logged in, and block them until that number meets a certain threshold. This also causes people with VPNs to get this message. The solution is to connect to smaller self-hosted invidious instances or using proxies hosted on normal residential ips.

Grayjay is ran locally, so they cant block the datacenter traffic like they did with invidious, but even if they managed to do something I'd probably still use grayjay, since I can follow the same creators on all platforms with it.

Grayjay is such a good app to watch not only adfree YouTube, but also twitch, rumble, Odysee, etc. I don't understand how this app isn't the standard.

That depends entirely on what kind of data is stored and how often a new unique ID is created, and that's something users can seize control over.

They put ads in books too, unfortunately. The internet ones you can block.

It doesn't track users. It collects anonymous statistics and assign them to a unique ID without storing any other information about the user.

And it IS meant to replace cookies, but you can't just replace them all at once and disable the legacy cookies. It is going to have a gradual transition.

And they did tell us about this many months ago.

Let go. It'll be quick and painless.

Indie gamedev is where it's at.
